Hello,
after upgrading the kernel on a Gentoo machine which is a VMWare guest,
I also upgraded vmware-tools (this means, emerge the package, mount the
.iso with -o loop, and run ./INSTALL).
Basically, no problem as usual, but now revdep-rebuild complains about
some files which were installed by vmware-tools:

Seems that most of the files are intended for some graphical desktops (which
are not needed here but are installed by vmware-tools anyway).
Can I somehow get rid of those messages (apart from just deleting those unneeded
libraries which may break other things)? I already tried some configuration with
LD_LIBRARY_MASK, but to no avail.
Thanks,
-Matt
